Tejas Trails Pacer Forum

This is a forum for PACERS (needing runners) and RUNNERs (needing pacers) to hook up. Hopefully you will all be able to connect with each other without any involment from me. Because if I get involved, you will either match up with the wrong person or not at all. You could connect here and then swap email or phone numbers to continue off line.

If you are a RUNNER needing a pacer: Post your name, and email, along with your expectations, including questimated time. Would you like a pacer for loop 4 or loop 5 or both loops. Do you want somebody with a lot of energy and non-stop jokes or would you prefer company without much discussion.

If you are a PACER needing a runner: Post your name and email along with some idea of what speed you will be able to run. Also add in anything relevant to help connect you with the right person.

About pacing:
1) There will be a significant demand for pacers, so if you want to help, then usually you can match up with somebody.
2) Pacers are treated the same as runners. Same food and water.
3) Pacers do not wear bib numbers, but we do expect all pacers to sign a medical waiver before you start.
4) A runner can have as many pacers as he like, but only one at a time while on the course. So you can swap pacers at each aid station if you wish.
Rocky Only:
5) Pacers cannot start until after their runner has run 60 miles. (If the runners is over 60, you can have a pacer the entire race).
Bandera Only:
5) Pacers cannot start until after their runner has run 31 miles. (If the runners is over 60, you can have a pacer the entire race).
